Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering” as civil engineering school in Novosibirsk, Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA strong contextual entry point for chronology, institutions and public events when official records are distinguished from later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1930, 1933, 1935, 1939—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1930. The account is most persuasive where Novosibirsk, State and University can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as civil engineering school in Novosibirsk, Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1296887. VIAF identifies the subject as 143976758. The Library of Congress control number is no99087606.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
